J-1 - More Art By Stanley Kendall May 1984 Video Art for the Bally Arcade / Astrocade and Blue Ram BASIC. This program requires expansion RAM. This program was found in Ken Lill's tape collection. It was never published as far as Paul Thacker can tell. After this program runs for about 14 minutes, it crashes on line 830 with a "SORRY" error message. Line 830 is: 830 @(A);XY;NEXT A I guess that the A() element might be out of range. Although the program eventually crashes, it...

Spirals Visual By Ken Springsteen 198x. Source: Bob Fabris Collection. This is unedited video art for the Bally Arcade / Astrocade and "AstroBASIC." This is NOT a video overview. Several Ken Springsteen programs (Crypt-o-grams, Spirals Visual, Arcade Visual, and Ward's Display) were on a tape in the Bob Fabris collection labeled "Ken Springsteen Programs For The Arcadian." Crypt-o-grams was published, and the others should probably be considered unpublished submissions.
